Konatic unveils measuring solution for glass wine bottles

Published 23rd February, 2024 by Jess Mills

Konatic's Innerscan device can take glass bottle measurements up to temperatures of 100°C.

Konatic has released Innerscan, a device for measuring the internal profile of glass wine bottles at the hot and cold-end.

Monitoring the internal profile of wine bottles is essential in a glass plant, whether done manually or automatically at the hot-end or cold-end.

Konatic has developed Innerscan, a solution to bridge the gap between manual measurements and all-in one laboratory devices.

Innerscan is a user-friendly device equipped with a motorised head and open protocols for recording and transferring data to the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) automatically.

It takes quick and precise measurements of a glass bottle's profile, even when freshly produced and at temperatures of up to 100°C.

Innerscan is already operational within manufacturing facilities, and its framework is based on previous machines developed for hot-end and laboratory environments.

This includes Precision Reader (datamatrix reader at hot-end) and NANO (hot-end coating measurement without index fluid in the laboratory).
